    IUSD Report Cards - How do we read these?

    To this person it does...cause they think the A somehow is a sign of superior development at this point. The dialogue should be about how your child is doing, where they have strengths, where there are weaknesses, and how to build that out.  Not to mention the fact that I wouldn't even want to...

    IUSD Report Cards - How do we read these?

    And you missed my point. Applying an A-F scale for a kindergartner will do nothing to help progress. Kids at that age are not ready to be evaluated nor would it be appropriate to do so on such a scale. Development is going to be different for every child at that age and that is why they have a...

    Seriously...people are complaining about kindergarten grades not being A-F.  Give me a break.

    Celebrate kids bday at Disneyland

    Goofy's Kitchen is great for kids.  Wouldn't recommend bringing like 40, but for more of the intimate family, great place.

    woodbridge village center remodel, Irvine co. 30 million reinvestment

    Rainbow kids is being replaced by Sharkey's Haircutting.  Catarina's is where Sticky Fingers in and was literally the exact same set-up, but just had a different name (when it was sold it was renamed).  I want to say the Pizza Place was a Northwood pizza but I'm pretty sure I am wrong.

    woodbridge village center remodel, Irvine co. 30 million reinvestment

    Sticky Fingers...Catarina's was the original. There was the pizza place with the arcade area on the 2nd floor (forget what the pizza place was called) where champagne's was (and obviously Chevy's). Heidi's was a yogurt place in Irvine, but I can't remember if that shopping center is where...

    Suspicious Neighbors - What can I do?

    Call the police (non emergency number) and inform them what is happening and your thoughts. Doesn't homeland security tell people to keep their eyes open and recommend reporting suspicious behavior (i.e., it better to be safe and report) and leave it up to the investigators to do their...

    Will Amazon choose Irvine?

    I don't look forward to traffic, but more jobs and good jobs in the area would be a major boom.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Pavillions shouldn't be more pricey or materially more pricey than Albertson's or Ralphs, who is their direct competition.  Whole Foods is a different scale of price (as is Bristol Farms).  Pavillions has nice things, but there isn't anything significantly different from Pavillions and the...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    I am going to flat out say that the store mgr is full of nonsense.  I presume there was a lot of negotiating between Irvine Co and Pavillions and possibly some discounts (or discounts to other rents out there).  The reality is Irvine Company wants a grocer at the center and whatever the...

    Bi-weekly payment program

    I would think the difference is your savings account is going to generate a lower return then the interest payment. So if you are putting it in savings, probably not. Time value of money and liquidity are varying thoughts.  If you were going to look at an efficient portfolio, if you have a low...

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    I.e., you are telling them to invest that cash.

    Google Fiber coming to Irvine

    I thought Google basically put a stop to any expansion and was reanalyzing how they were going to roll out fiber (due to the high cost of putting it in).  I thought essentially some businesses and apartments were mainly going to be the recipients (but no wide scale Irvine adoption was imminent).
